Bob Dylan's impact on popular music has been incalculable, posits Billboard and Rolling Stone journalist Sean Egan. From the premier folk protest anthem "Blowin' in the Wind" to the searing venom of "Like a Rolling Stone," from the brilliant 1960s albums Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde to his stunning comeback disc Time Out of Mind, Dylan's genius has endured, underpinned by the lyrical turns that made him the first poet of popular music. Egan presents some of the finest interviews, essays, features, and reviews on Dylan, from friends and scholars like John Bauldie, Michael Gray, Nat Hentoff, and Jules Siegel, interspersed with new narratives and reviews of every album.
